Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and particularly to an injection device. Background Art

[0002] An auto-injector pen is a syringe product that is convenient for patients or the general public to operate. When manufacturers produce it, they first fill the liquid medicine into the syringe to form a prefilled syringe (PFS, also known as a drug-loaded syringe), and then install the PFS into the auto-injection device to form an auto-injector pen for transportation and sales. After obtaining the auto-injector pen, consumers use it as needed, remove the pen cap, and then press it against the injection site of the patient for trigger injection to complete the automatic injection of the liquid medicine. Compared with traditional syringes, the processes of sucking medicine, inserting the needle, and pushing the medicine with a disposable syringe are omitted, the operation is more convenient, and the injection dose can be guaranteed, and there will be no deviation in the injection dose due to unskilled operation.

[0048] To fully understand this application, detailed steps and structures of preferred embodiments will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solutions of this application. However, in addition to the preferred embodiments, this application can also have other implementation manners.

[0049] The applicant of this application found in the research and development that in the injection devices in the prior art, the contact area between the protrusions of the elastic arms of the unlocking sleeve and the protrusions of the elastic member bracket is relatively large, for example, it is a surface contact, resulting in a relatively large resistance when the user advances the injection, and it is easy to get stuck.

[0050] Therefore, through further research and development by the applicant, the following technical solutions are proposed.

[0051] To address the technical problems in the related art, an embodiment of this application provides an injection device. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the injection device includes:

[0052] An injection push rod 10, configured to perform an injection movement in a first direction during injection to push out the injection liquid from the liquid medicine bottle;

[0053] It can be understood that the injection liquid is installed in the liquid medicine bottle 20, and the liquid medicine bottle 20 can be a medicine bottle containing a fluid medicine. The liquid medicine bottle 20 can include a bottle body 21, a piston 22, and an injection needle 23. The injection push rod 10 is used to push the piston to move.

[0054] Understandably, the movement of the piston 22 refers to its movement within the medicine vial 20. The movement of the piston 22 can squeeze the injection liquid within the medicine vial 20 to flow out towards the outlet end, for example, flow out from the injection needle 23.

[0055] The first direction can be the axial direction of the medicine vial 20. Since the injection push rod 10, the housing 30, etc. are all arranged corresponding to the medicine vial 20, therefore, the first direction can also be the axial direction of components such as the injection push rod 10 and the housing 30.

[0056] The housing 30 includes a proximal end and a relative distal end; the housing 30 can drive the needle insertion movement of the orientation ring 40 during injection, and the needle insertion movement is the movement of pushing the injection needle 23 of the medicine vial 20 into the target organism.

[0057] Understandably, the proximal end is the end close to the target organism during injection, and the distal end is the relative other end. Similarly, other components can also be divided into a proximal end and a distal end according to the direction during injection.

[0058] Specifically, the housing 30 has a first accommodation cavity to accommodate components such as the injection push rod 10, the orientation ring 40, the unlocking sleeve 50, and the elastic part 12.

[0059] Specifically, the needle insertion movement moves along the first direction.

[0060] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the housing 30 includes a tube body 31 and a fixed bushing 33 connected to the distal end of the tube body 31; the fixed bushing 33 abuts against the orientation ring 40 in the first direction, and during injection, the fixed bushing 33 drives the movement of the orientation ring 40 in the first direction.

[0061] Manufacturing the housing 30 by separately making the tube body 31 and the fixed bushing 33 and then assembling them is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost. For example, the structure is simpler after separation, which can simplify the processing.

[0062] Understandably, the fixed bushing 33 is used to seal the distal end of the tube body 31, and the fixed bushing 33 abuts against the orientation ring 40 in the first direction. During needle insertion and injection, the movement of the housing 30 in the first direction can drive the movement of the orientation ring 40 in the first direction.

[0063] Specifically, the injection device further includes a tube cap 32; the tube cap 32 is sleeved on the proximal end of the housing 30 to seal the proximal end of the housing 30.

[0064] In this way, in addition to the needle guard 70 surrounding the injection needle 23 of the medicine vial 20 circumferentially, the injection needle 23 is also protected by the tube cap 32, making it safer to use.

[0065] The orientation ring 40 is located inside the housing 30 and is used to perform the needle insertion movement under the push of the housing 30;

[0066] The orientation ring 40 is sleeved on the injection push rod 10 and is provided with a guiding groove 41 for guiding the injection push rod 10 to perform the injection movement. Refer to Figure 3 ;

[0067] Specifically, the distal end of the orientation ring 40 axially abuts against the housing 30. During injection, the housing 30 moves towards the target organism in the first direction, driving the orientation ring 40 to move in the first direction.

[0068] Specifically, before the injection push rod 10 enters the injection movement, the movement of the orientation ring 40 in the first direction can drive the injection push rod 10 to move in the first direction, that is, to move relative to the unlocking sleeve 50.

[0069] After the injection push rod 10 enters the injection movement, it can perform the injection movement along the direction of the guiding groove 41. Through the guiding groove 41, the moving direction of the injection push rod 10 can be made more stable. Specifically, the guiding groove 41 extends in the first direction.

[0070] The unlocking sleeve 50 is sleeved on the orientation ring 40 and is provided with an unlocking structure for guiding the injection push rod 10 to rotate a first preset angle around the first direction during injection. The unlocking structure is an inclined surface or a curved surface. Refer to Figure 5 ; A first protrusion 11 that cooperates with the unlocking structure and penetrates the outer wall of the orientation ring 40 is provided on the outer periphery of the injection push rod 10. Refer to Figure 4 ;

[0071] The orientation ring 40 is further used to drive the injection push rod 10 to move relative to the unlocking sleeve 50 and trigger the injection push rod 10 to rotate around the first direction, so that the first protrusion 11 enters the guiding groove 41;

[0072] In detail, the unlocking structure is an inclined surface or a curved surface. When the injection push rod 10 moves relative to the unlocking sleeve 50, the first protrusion 11 abuts against the inclined surface or the curved surface and will move along the extension direction of the inclined surface or the curved surface, causing the injection push rod 10 to rotate a first preset angle around the first direction.

[0073] In this embodiment, the unlocking structure is an inclined surface.

[0074] The elastic part 12 pushes the injection movement of the injection push rod through elastic force; that is, it pushes the injection movement of the injection push rod 10 through elastic force after the first protrusion 11 enters the guiding groove 41;

[0075] Understandably, the injection movement of the injection push rod 10 is formed under the elastic force of the elastic part 12. In this way, in addition to the simpler operation of the user, the injection process is also relatively stable and will not be affected by improper force application of the user during injection.

[0076] Specifically, one end of the elastic part 12 abuts against the injection push rod 10. Before injection, the elastic part 12 is in a compressed state, but it cannot exert elastic force because the axial position of the injection push rod 10 is restricted. After the injection push rod 10 rotates a first preset angle, the first protrusion 11 of the injection push rod 10 enters the guiding groove 41, and the axial position restriction is released. Under the elastic force of the elastic part 12, the injection push rod 10 moves along the direction of the guiding groove 41 to perform the injection movement. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 .

[0077] More specifically, the elastic part 12 can be a compression spring. The compression spring can more precisely control the elastic force through parameters such as wire diameter and pitch, and has a low cost.

[0078] The elastic part bracket 60 is used to limit the position of the elastic part 12; the elastic part bracket 60 is linked with the orientation ring 40 in a first direction; that is, in the needle insertion movement and the injection movement, the elastic part bracket 60 is linked with the orientation ring 40 in the first direction.

[0079] Specifically, the proximal end of the elastic part 12 abuts against the injection push rod 10, and the distal end abuts against the elastic part bracket 60. Before injection, the elastic part 12 is compressed between the injection push rod 10 and the elastic part bracket 60. After the axial position restriction of the injection push rod 10 is released, the elastic force of the elastic part 12 drives the injection push rod 10 to move.

[0080] More specifically, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the elastic part bracket 60 includes a top cover 61 and a limit post 62 connected to the bottom wall of the top cover 61; the elastic part 12 is sleeved on the limit post 62; the other end of the elastic part 12 abuts against the top cover 61.

[0081] The side wall of the unlocking sleeve 50 is provided with a first elastic arm 52, and a second protrusion 521 is provided on the first elastic arm 52; the elastic part bracket 60 is provided with a third protrusion 63 that cooperates with the second protrusion 521; before work, the axial abutment of the second protrusion 521 and the third protrusion 63 restricts the movement of the elastic part bracket 60 in the first direction; at least one of the second protrusion 521 or the third protrusion 63 is provided with an inclined surface or a curved surface at the mutually abutting part, so that the contact between the two is a line contact. Refer to Figure 8 andFigure 9 ; During operation, the elastic member bracket 60 presses against the unlocking sleeve 50, and the first elastic arm 52 is pushed by the component force generated by the inclined surface or the arc surface to open outward, causing the second protrusion 521 and the third protrusion 63 to disengage from each other, releasing the movement restriction of the elastic member bracket 60. Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 .

[0082] The cooperation between the third protrusion 63 and the second protrusion 521 can be that the two are in contact in the first direction, thus restricting the relative movement between the elastic member bracket 60 and the unlocking sleeve 50 in the first direction. In actual injection, the unlocking sleeve 50 is stationary relative to the target organism. Therefore, it can be considered that the cooperation between the third protrusion 63 and the second protrusion 521 restricts the movement of the elastic member bracket 60 in the first direction.

[0083] Specifically, the first elastic arm 52 is a cantilever structure, that is, one end is fixed to the side wall of the unlocking sleeve 50 and the other end is suspended. In this way, the first elastic arm 52 has the elasticity to swing outward or inward with the end fixed to the side wall of the unlocking sleeve 50 as the reference. When the injection device is operating, the elastic member bracket 60 moves along the first direction towards the target organism under the drive of the orientation ring 40. In this way, the third protrusion 63 will press against the second protrusion 521 and push the first elastic arm 52 to swing outward and open.

[0084] It can be understood that during the process of the third protrusion 63 pressing against the second protrusion 521, there is a process of mutual sliding. In the injection devices in the prior art, the contact area between the third protrusion 63 and the second protrusion 521 in the first direction is relatively large, resulting in a relatively large resistance to mutual sliding, making the user's operation laborious and prone to jamming. In the embodiments of the present application, by providing mutually cooperating inclined surfaces or arc surfaces at the contact between the two, the contact between the two is a line contact, greatly reducing the sliding resistance and improving the user's operation experience.

[0085] It can be understood that before the injection device operates, the purpose of restricting the movement of the elastic member bracket 60 in the first direction through the axial contact between the second protrusion 521 and the third protrusion 63 is to prevent the injection needle 23 of the medicine bottle 20 from protruding from the housing 30 and injuring the user when not in use.

[0086] To enable the reader to more clearly understand the injection device of the embodiments of the present application, based on the above preliminary introduction of the structure, the working process and action principle of the injection device of the embodiments of the present application will be briefly introduced below. The working process of the injection device mainly includes two stages: needle insertion and injection, which will be introduced as follows:

[0087] 1) Needle insertion. The user holds the housing 30 and presses the needle stopper 70 against the injection site of the target organism. Then, a force is applied to move the housing 30 towards the target organism. Since the needle stopper 70 is against the target organism and does not move relative to the target organism, while the medicine bottle 20 can move with the movement of the housing 30, the injection needle 23 of the medicine bottle 20 can protrude from the needle stopper 70 and penetrate the target organism. After the injection needle 23 penetrates a certain depth, the needle insertion process is completed.

[0088] 2) Injection. During the needle insertion process, the movement of the housing 30 also drives the co-directional movement of the orientation ring 40 and the injection push rod 10, while the unlocking sleeve 50, like the needle stopper 70, does not move relative to the target organism. Therefore, the injection push rod 10 moves relative to the unlocking sleeve 50. After the needle insertion process is completed, the injection push rod 10 rotates a first preset angle around the first direction under the guidance of the unlocking sleeve 50. So that the first protrusion 11 of the injection push rod 10 enters the guiding groove 41 of the orientation ring 40, and then under the elastic force of the elastic part 12, the injection push rod 10 moves along the direction of the guiding groove 41, pushing the piston 22 in the medicine bottle 20 to move, extruding the injection liquid for injection. When the injection push rod 10 moves to a preset position, for example, the piston 22 abuts against the bottom of the medicine bottle 20 and the injection push rod 10 is blocked and cannot move further, the injection process is completed.

[0089] In the injection device according to the embodiment of the present application, mutually cooperating inclined surfaces or arc surfaces are provided on the second protrusion 521 of the unlocking sleeve 50 and the third protrusion 63 of the elastic part support 60, so that their contact is a line contact, reducing the sliding resistance of the elastic part support 60 moving relative to the unlocking sleeve 50, making the operation of the user more labor-saving. Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 . Therefore, the injection device according to the embodiment of the present application can make the operation of the user more labor-saving.

[0090] In other embodiments of the present application, the second protrusion 521 is provided with a first inclined surface 5211 at the part contacting the third protrusion 63, the third protrusion 63 is provided with a second inclined surface 631 at the part contacting the second protrusion 521, and the inclination angles of the first inclined surface 5211 and the second inclined surface 631 are different.

[0091] That is, by the different inclination angles, a line contact is formed at the contact of the third protrusion 63 and the second protrusion 521. Compared with the arc surface, the processing cost of the inclined surface is lower.

[0092] Furthermore, the angle between the first inclined surface 5211 and the first direction can be set to be smaller, so that the movement resistance of the elastic part support 60 relative to the unlocking sleeve 50 can also be reduced. The angle between the first inclined surface 5211 and the first direction refers to Figure 9 , and the angle is marked as A1.

[0093] In some other embodiments of the present application, the second protrusion 521 is provided with a first plane 5212 connected to the proximal end of the first inclined plane 5211; the third protrusion 63 is provided with a second plane 632 connected to the distal end of the second inclined plane 631, and the first plane 5212 and the second plane 632 are parallel to each other and both parallel to the first direction.

[0094] In this way, after the elastic member bracket 60 moves relative to the unlocking sleeve 50 and disengages from each other, the two can be separated more smoothly without being affected by sharp corners or the like and causing jams.

[0095] In some other embodiments of the present application, the width of the first elastic arm 52 at the circumferentially narrowest part is set to 2 mm - 4 mm, such as 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, etc., referring to Figure 12 , and the width at the narrowest part is labeled as W1 in Figure 12 ; the thickness of the first elastic arm 52 in the radial direction is 0.7 mm - 1.1 mm, such as 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, etc., and the thickness in the radial direction is labeled as T1 in Figure 5 .

[0096] In this way, the first elastic arm 52 has sufficient strength and sufficient elasticity, that is, when the third protrusion 63 presses against the second protrusion 521, the first elastic arm 52 swings outwards and opens. It can be understood that this swing is based on elastic deformation.

[0097] In some other embodiments of the present application, the side wall of the orientation ring 40 is provided with a first card slot 42, and the first elastic arm 52 is further provided with a fourth protrusion 522; after the injection is completed and the elastic member bracket 60 contracts inwards, the fourth protrusion 522 abuts against the first card slot 42 of the orientation ring 40 in the first direction to prevent the needle insertion movement of the orientation ring 40, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14 .

[0098] It should be noted that during injection, the injection push rod 10 moves in the first direction along the guide groove 41. After the injection is completed, the injection push rod 10 moves out of the range surrounded by the elastic member bracket 60, so that the second elastic arm 64 of the elastic member bracket 60 (see the following introduction) loses the intermediate support and contracts inwards. The orientation ring 40 naturally drops, and the first card slot 42 abuts against the fourth protrusion 522 in the first direction to prevent further movement of the orientation ring 40, avoiding the injection needle 23 of the discarded injection pen from protruding from the housing 30 and hurting people after injection.

[0099] In some other embodiments of the present application, the surface of the fourth protrusion 522 in contact with the first card slot 42 is inclined to form a barb structure.

[0100] Through the barb structure, the first card slot 42 and the fourth protrusion 522 can be more firmly in contact in the first direction and are not easily loosened.

[0101] In some other embodiments of the present application, the inclination angle of the surface of the fourth protrusion 522 in contact with the first card slot 42 is 10°-30°.

[0102] In this way, the first card slot 42 and the fourth protrusion 522 are firmly in contact and are not easily loosened, and have relatively high strength.

[0103] In some other embodiments of the present application, a first tongue extending into the first card slot 42 is provided on the outer side of the elastic member bracket 60. Through the cooperation of the first card slot 42 and the first tongue, and the elastic force of the elastic member, a linkage in the first direction is established between the elastic member bracket 60 and the orientation ring 40.

[0104] In this way, during the needle insertion movement, by pressing the distal end of the housing 30, the movement of the orientation ring 40 is pushed, and then the movement of the elastic member bracket 60 is pushed.

[0105] In some other embodiments of the present application, the injection push rod 10 is provided with a blind hole 13 for accommodating the elastic member, and the opening of the blind hole 13 is located at the distal end of the injection push rod 10; one end of the elastic part 12 abuts against the bottom wall of the blind hole 13, and the other end passes through the opening of the blind hole 13 and abuts against the distal end of the elastic member bracket 60, so that the injection push rod 10 axially moves following the axial movement of the elastic member bracket 60.

[0106] That is, the elastic part 12 is in a compressed state by abutting against the bottom wall of the blind hole 13 and the distal end of the elastic member bracket 60 at both ends, and then elastic potential energy is generated by compression.

[0107] Specifically, for the convenience of processing, a small hole can be provided at the bottom of the blind hole, and the aperture of the small hole is smaller than the diameter of the elastic part 12.

[0108] In some other embodiments of the present application, the elastic member bracket 60 includes a top cover 61 and second elastic arms 64 connected to both sides of the top cover 61 and extending in the first direction, and the first tongue is provided on the second elastic arm 64; the other end of the elastic part 12 abuts against the top cover 61.

[0109] In this way, the elastic part bracket 60 can not only resist the elastic part 12 in the first direction, but also establish a linkage relationship in the first direction with the orientation ring 40 through the provided first tongue. One part realizes two functions, and the structure is more compact.

[0110] Specifically, the first tongue can be a part of the third protrusion 63. In this way, there is no need to additionally set the structure of the first tongue, and the structure is more compact.

[0111] Specifically, the second elastic arm 64 surrounds the injection push rod 10 and is laterally supported by the injection push rod 10. Before the injection push rod 10 moves out of the range of the second elastic arm 64 due to injection, the second elastic arm 64 cannot contract inward.

[0112] In some other embodiments of the present application, the injection device further includes a needle baffle 70, and the needle baffle 70 is used to surround the injection needle 23 of the medicine bottle 20 from the circumferential direction and abut against the injection site of the target organism during injection;

[0113] That is, the needle baffle 70 is a support for the user to apply force. After the needle baffle 70 abuts against the injection site of the target organism, the user can apply force to the housing 30 with this as a support. The housing 30 moves towards the target organism, that is, moves relative to the needle baffle 70, driving the injection needle 23 of the medicine bottle 20 to protrude from the needle baffle 70 and penetrate into the target organism. And since the needle baffle 70 does not move, the lateral position of the injection needle 23 is relatively stable, and it can penetrate into the injection site relatively accurately without being skewed or off-target.

[0114] It should be understood that the above embodiments are all exemplary and do not cover all possible implementation manners included in the technical solutions of the present application. Without departing from the scope of the disclosure of the present application, various deformations and changes can also be made on the basis of the above embodiments. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments can also be arbitrarily combined to form other embodiments of the present application that may not be clearly described. Therefore, the above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application and do not limit the protection scope of the patent of the present application.
